As they should be. Most efficient way to run them, full up. If they're
not, you should stuff them with newspapers rather than try to freeze a
pile of air. Apparently.



Space is better filled with 4 pint milk plastic cartons well washed out and
filled to within a couple of inches from the top with water. The water
freezes and expands into the space and hold the freezing conditions a lot
longer than newspaper.

We buy a week's supply of milk at a time and put these down in the freezer.
They take "about" 12 hours to thaw out. Nothing detrimental to the milk :-))

If you lay the cartons down in the bottom of a chest freezer, the food can
be stacked on top thus making it easier to reach.
